Chapter 111: You’re Just Jealous
Jason’s first words made Griselda’s smile die a brutal death.
"You should give up on your dreams. Going into a Gate isn’t the walk in the park you think it is. People actually die in there. I was lucky enough to awaken before I got eaten by the monsters, but others weren’t so lucky."
Griselda felt a strained smile grow on her face as Jason continued talking, and after a while, she raised her hand and told him to stop!
"I understand all you’re saying, but don’t think you can tell me what I can or can’t do just because you became a superhuman a few days ago."
"I’m just trying to help you—"
"I know, but I don’t need your help. I’ve already heard everything you’re about to say from a thousand other people before. No one believes I can do what I set my heart to, but that won’t make me give up. I’ll become a Guild Captain even if it takes me years to do it. I swear it. And when I do become a Guild Captain, I’ll make you join me."
Griselda turned away from Jason and began to walk into the building. Jason just watched her go with a look of mild respect. Griselda really believed that she could do this even with all the disadvantages in her way, and Jason couldn’t help but respect that.
Jason took three Magic Crystals from his pocket and quickly threw them in his mouth before he started walking to the school building. He wasn’t going to say anything more to Griselda since her mind was so hellbent on this. If she wanted to die inside a Gate, then who was he to tell her not to?
The other students were still gawking at Jason, and some of them were even trying to talk to him, but he ignored them all and just kept walking. He didn’t care about the students before he became a superhuman, and now that he was one, he still didn’t care.
